I need to stop at Firefox 14 for now, and need to prevent auto-updates. In Firefox 14.0.1 when I disable auto-update by setting 'never check for updates', and/or use about:config to clear 'app.update.url', both settings are ignored. When I close and re-open Firefox, auto-update is again enabled, and the update URL is again set.


Recommendations?

If you do not keep changes after a restart then see:

As it turns out, it's not a matter of 'preferences not being saved'. It's Firefox spontaneously changing my preferences at start-time.

I've been testing; here's what i discover. 1. I install FF14, start it the first time, and disable auto-update (via Tools/Options/Advanced) At this point - prefs.js in my profile now starts with user_pref("app.update.auto", false); user_pref("app.update.enabled", false);

2. now I exit FF. prefs.js in my profile STILL starts with user_pref("app.update.auto", false); user_pref("app.update.enabled", false);

3. i restart FF (#1) prefs.js in my profile STILL starts with user_pref("app.update.auto", false); user_pref("app.update.enabled", false);

4. i close FF prefs.js in my profile STILL starts with user_pref("app.update.auto", false); user_pref("app.update.enabled", false);

5. I restart FF (#2) NOW prefs.js has dropped those 2 initial lines, and starts with user_pref("app.update.lastUpdateTime.addon-........etc

Firefox is spontaneously changing my prefs.js.

Before this series of tests I adjusted the prefs.js in all other profiles in this XPSP3 machine to start with user_pref("app.update.auto", false); user_pref("app.update.enabled", false);

This is obnoxious. I expect better from Mozilla. Suggestions?

Do you have a user.js file that might be initializing prefs?

Nope - i don't. Other possibilities?
